Argan trees grow only in Morocco, on a narrow strip of desert between Marrakesh and Essaouira. They can survive incredibly harsh conditions where few other trees can’t, and the process of extracting their oil is highly labor-intensive. Most of this work is done by female farmworkers who must manually displace the fruit from the thorny tree branches, remove the flesh, and then crack the internal kernel with a rock to extract the precious oil. It takes 15 hours of labor to produce one liter of Argan oil.
